@PZaninotto & co explored the associations b/w life enjoyment & all-cause mortality.
Results found associations b/w
mortality & 
occasions of enjoyment with life over a four-year period, suggesting the importance of sustained wellbeing for health http://bit.ly/3lHBeUJ

@DrEricKim & co explored associations b/w optimism & telomere length in older adults.
Findings did not support telomeres as a mechanism to explain the relationship b/w optimism & reduced chronic disease.
More research is needed to underpin mechanisms https://bit.ly/3lKQj8i

@DrSarahEJackson @UCL_BSH & co found associations between cortisol and obesity & waist circumference.
Highlighting chronic stress may be associated with adiposity markers & obesity. But more research needed to clarify direction of associations https://bit.ly/321ObzG
